A Global Drug/Pharma Brand Director's Perspective On This Journey Called Life

@LarrySabato Morass. I like it because it’s very descriptive of the situation and because he’s once again “more of an ass” 😊

We need your help, everyone. This is Kenji. He's a 4 year old male BT. He was being fostered by a family who disappeared with him & lied on their application about certain important info. Last seen in Avondale, AZ. If you have seen him, please DM

@brucehayes @pinochet_pilot @jared_shult Just talking about what it will take to win a “general” in TX; not what makes Ds mellow enough to not clutch their pearls. Let’s see where Ds go when Talarico also goes down in general. Again, not talking my ideal candidate but what’s better than the R alt & CAN win a TX general

[KeepingItReal @KeepingItReal]

@umichvoter As a D in TX, I’m sorry Talarico does not have a chance. If Ds want to win states like this they are going to need to suck it up & find a Fetterman (pre-stroke!!!)/Platner type to run a good ole boy, down to earth, meat & potatoes campaign here. But Ds hate that too much to win

April 10th Update:

Both NWSS and WWScan data sets suggest the lowest transmission levels in more than 4 years. BA.3.2 modestly impacting primarily the under 18 group.

Estimates:
🔸118,000 new infections/day
🔸~1 in 550 currently reasonably infectious (5 day window)

Estimating risk of long COVID using a Bayesian network-based decision support tool

🤔Do you want to know your LC and other C19 risks?( Great Australian work!)👇

➡️"Vaccination, receiving drug treatment within three days of acute infection, and avoiding repeated infections are the greatest modifiable influences of long COVID development, decreasing risk by up to 63 % under modelled scenarios."

➡️Here an "interactive user-friendly web-based decision support tool :
https://t.co/4ptOpfPRV7
enabling easy access to model outputs, and allows individuals to calculate their personalised probability of long COVID under different scenarios of modifiable risk factors."

➡️"The decision-support tool can be used by individuals or in conjunction with clinicians for shared decision-making on vaccination, pursuing early drug treatment during acute infection, and continuing protective behaviors such as masking and social distancing."

➡️"The model can also generate population-level estimates of outcomes to assist public health decision-makers to design better-informed public health policies."

‼️Sit down.......and take the test...... ooooooeps!!.

Luna was SO excited to visit Santa. She’s such a ham! 😂

@GarrettHaake Though what he’s saying is cracked, I can loosely see a path to something like this if you swing from paying them to them paying you. On small scale something like this happens with coupon stacking every so often, where you end up essentially getting paid to take product. LOL

@NostalgiaFolder Just burned a CD 3 days ago. Sadly still some things like radiology images, medical centers will only accept on CDs; not thumb drives nor digital transfers. Just like fax still exists in some parts of medical world 😬

[KeepingItReal @KeepingItReal]

@RTHM_Health @doctorasadkhan If this is for viral reactivations, especially EBV, Tenofovir TAF 25mg is far far better choice; both for ease on liver and effectiveness. TDF would be decent fallback choice. Was so glad to go that route during my LC with EBV

@EricTopol “Gattica” was just ahead of its time.

Fascinating read on AI models developing brain rot consuming social media “junk” just like humans.

[Alex Veremeyenko @alex_verem]

This might be the most disturbing AI paper of 2025 ☠️

Scientists just proved that large language models can literally rot their own brains the same way humans get brain rot from scrolling junk content online.

They fed models months of viral Twitter data short, high-engagement posts and watched their cognition collapse:

- Reasoning fell by 23%
- Long-context memory dropped 30%
- Personality tests showed spikes in narcissism & psychopathy

And get this even after retraining on clean, high-quality data, the damage didn’t fully heal.

The representational “rot” persisted.

It’s not just bad data → bad output.
It’s bad data → permanent cognitive drift.

The AI equivalent of doomscrolling is real. And it’s already happening.

So proud of Luna at her model auditions!

@dryostradamus I had low iron / ferritin during LC. Only found when I went slightly anemic (so can cause that). treated it as part of broader process to normalize labs. Supplemented for 1yr. Normal levels after LC recovery. Certainly not an LC cause but def can be associated with it.

@TheSchlewis @politico These two things are not necessarily irreconcilable. Let’s hear him out 😃
